Thanks Jim for your reply. Unfortnately my computer has been down for 2 days so I could not post a comment on my problem. I have infact solved the problem and I am fraid to say the problem was me. On page 6 of this thread MarcelN asked if there was a way to increase the image size without altering the values of SMALL_IMAGE.

This is what I did and it worked in Firefox which was the only browser I was using. What I failed to do was read further into the thread to find that caused a problem and you in fact gave an answer on what to do.

I have now done what you suggested on page 6 and everything now works fine.

Just goes to prove that its good to read and then read again to make sure.

Sorry for bothering you all when the answer was already there and all I had to do was read it.

Hi, just a quick question. I have not looked at this contribution for a while and have forgotten how to change somethings. Really all I need to know now is how to increase the number of categories being shown on the index page. It is currently showing 9 categories on the index page but I would like to increase this so that it shows 12 categories but I can not remember where I change the code from 9 to 12.

Its fine, I have found the code in catalog/includes/modules/categories_images.php

Firstly thanks for a great contribution, this really suited my needs perfectly.

I'm not sure if this is something I'm missing, but to set the size of my category images I'm using Admin -> Images -> Small Image Width/Height, however this is also controlling the size of my image in the product_info page. I want my pictures on the product_info page to be significantly larger than those I'm showing for the category images, however as they are both linked to the same admin option I can't make them independent of each others size. How would I go about doing this?

Sorry if this is something that is already covered in this support thread, I've tried to check through it but there are a lot of posts so I may have missed something.

After going through a number of threads on the subject I've stumbled upon this contribution which solves my problem perfectly.

The problem is that the Categories Images Box is using SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH and SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT when it really shouldn't be. Then again, those values should always be blank anyway. I'll fix this in the next release.

I wanted to have the "categories images box" on a page for itself in a layer under the index page and link to it from index, what I did was create a new page and copy the code from the index page and remove what I didn't want.
The question is, is there a better way to do this?

Hi, I have just come to load this contribution and I have found that my stylesheet.css is completely different to the one you have said to compare.

I have also noticed that 2 stylesheets.css have been downloaded with the contribution, one is in the top folder with the install instructions etc and the other is in the catalog file, which is the correct one to use? I am guessing its the one in the catalog file.

If my style sheet is completely different to yours would I just add yours to the bottom of mine or is it more complicated than that?

Its ok I have worked it out.

If anybody else wants to know the first stylesheet.css in the top folder is for the install.html instructions required to install this contribution.

The stylesheet you need to compare/amend for your store is in the catalog folder in the usual structure. The only piece of code which will need adding to your stylesheet.css is at the bottom of the contribution stylesheet.css which begins with:
